How to use Boolean search for searching for job profile with a particular range of experience?

To search for a job profile with a particular range of experience using Boolean search and RChilli's Search & Match API, follow the steps below:

Step-by-Step: How to Use Boolean Search for Experience Filtering

1. Understanding Boolean Search

Boolean search allows you to use logical operators (like AND, OR, NOT) to refine your search criteria. It enhances the precision of your job profile searches when combined with structured queries.

2. Use the ExperienceInMonths Field

In RChilli’s Search & Match API, experience is measured in months using the ExperienceInMonths field. You can filter candidates or job profiles within a specific experience range using this field.

• Example Logic: If you want candidates with 3 to 5 years of experience, use a range:

{
"experience": {
"min": 36,
"max": 60
}
}

3. Combining Experience Range with Boolean Operators

You can enhance your query with Boolean logic using keywords or fields.

• • Example Search Query:

{
"query": "Java AND (Spring OR Hibernate)",
"experience": {
"min": 36,
"max": 60
}
}

This will return profiles with Java and either Spring or Hibernate, who have between 3 and 5 years of experience.

How Experience Is Calculated

RChilli extracts job history from resumes, identifies start and end dates for each role, and calculates the total months of experience. The sum is returned in the ExperienceInMonths field, which is used in matching jobs or resumes against desired experience criteria.
